Top Five Preview: Region Six

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are less than two weeks away from the first games of the 2025-26 KHSAA basketball season. The excitement level for this year is high. This is the first time in a few years that we haven't had a few teams that are clearly ahead of the pack in the race for the state title. I am going to be previewing all 16 regions by breaking down the top 5 teams and the top 5 college prospects in each region. Being a top 5 college prospect and being a top 5 player in the region are not the same thing. There are a lot of really good high school players in Kentucky who are not necessarily great college prospects. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Top Five Teams:</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jeffersontown</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Butler</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fairdale</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>PRP</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DuBois</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Top Five College Prospects: </span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1751495"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-691f5c1fe0501"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brown has several D1 offers already and is, in my opinion, the top isolation scorer in Kentucky.

Capable of scoring the ball or facilitating, Kamari is a tough guard who plays with a chip on his shoulder and excels at getting into the paint and creating for himself and others.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2647506"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-691f5c1fe0607"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Already committed to Kentucky State, Wilder has been one of the biggest stock risers in this Senior class over the last few seasons.

He's a D1 recruit as a quarterback but also has that type of potential on the court. An explosive athlete, Butler could be the X Factor for Fairdale in the regional title race.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Most Likely Mr. Basketball Finalist:</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1543629' first='Dayvone' last='Harrison'], Jeffersontown</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
